"Arguing that you don't care about the right to privacy because you have nothing to hide is no different than saying you don't care about free speech because you have nothing to say." - Edward Snowden

It's also naive. Most of the things I have to hide are other people's secrets. Closeted people's sexual orientations, secret pregnancies and cheating, porn fetisches.. sure, none of these things are a huge problem (though illegal in some countries..), but they are vulnerabilities of the people that shared them with me, and they are not mine to disclose.

Currently that probably means to never even mention these things in combination with anything internet (unless it has strong encryption, maybe).

edit: mental health issues, drug use, compromising pictures and situations, ...

I absolutely did not say you shouldn't care about the right to privacy. I said you can care and protest that, while recognizing that you don't necessarily have to go to extreme lengths if you yourself don't need the privacy at this particular moment.
